Ms. NORTON. I rise today in support of S. 2073. I thank my colleague from California, Ranking Member Robert Garcia, for introducing the House companion to the Eliminate Useless Reports Act of 2023. I am proud to support this bipartisan legislation. The accumulation of outdated and redundant reports is something that the Oversight Committee has tried to deal with several times over the past few decades.

The Eliminate Useless Reports Act takes an innovative approach. It would establish clear procedures for Federal agencies to request the elimination or modification of duplicative or outdated reports in their annual budget justifications. This would ensure that the correct committee of jurisdiction with the appropriate expertise considers this request. This bill would better inform Congress and the executive branch and ensure that agencies are not wasting time or resources on redundant or archaic reports.

Mr. Speaker, I urge support of this legislation, and I reserve the balance of my time.
